PACKING-BOX.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 495,907, dated April18, 1893. Application filed July 2, 1892. Serial N0.438.809. (No model.)

T at whom it may concern.-

Be it known thatI, CHARLES E. OVERBAUGH, of the city of St. Louis, inthe State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Packing-Boxes-or Carriers, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved box or carrier for-holding delicatearticles of any kind; and my invention consists in features of noveltyhereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

Figure I is a top view, the cover or lid being omitted. Fig. II is atransverse section, showing a different arrangement of pockets, orpartitions to that shown in Fig. I; that is to say, in Fig. I there arethree rows of pockets, while in Fig. II there are only two upper rows ofpockets. Fig. III is a detail, perspective View; and Fig. IV is adetail, plan View.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a box of any suitable length andwidth. Within the box is arranged a number of pockets 2, each pocketextending the full length of the box, and being divided into anumber ofcells formed by lips 3 produced by cutting the bottoms of the boxes, andturning up the portions thus cut, as clearly shown in Figs. III and IV.Each pocket consists of a bottom portion 4, a single side portion 5, endportions 6, the lips 3, which form the cells, and end and bottomreinforce 10. A portion of a blank from which a pocket is formed isshown in Fig. IV. A transverse slit 7 is cut in each blank, near eachend, and the blank is then folded on the dotted lines, as shown in Fig.

IV, thus bringing the side and ends into a right-angled position withrelation to the bottom. The bottom is also cut, as'shown by the fulllines 8, and the lips thus formed are bent upward on the dotted lines toform the cells. These pockets are placed in the box with the closed sideof one pocket fitting against the open side of the adjacent pocket, sothat the sides of the pockets form the partitions between the differentpockets. Each pocket having but one integral side, it will be seen thatas soon as a pocket is emptied it can be removed, and when it isremoved, one side of the cells of the adjacent pocket will be exposed,thus providing for the easy removal of the goods.

9 represents horizontal partitions or covers, which may be placed overeach series of pockets.

It will be seen that the pockets may be of any desired width, so thattwo, three, four or more horizontal series may be arranged in a box, asshown in Fig. II.

I claim as my invention 1. A box or carrier-pocket formed integral witha bottom 4 having lips 3, with a closed side 5, with closed ends 6, withan open top, and with an open side; substantially as described.

2. A box or carrier-pocket formed integral with a bottom 4, having lips3, with a closed side 5, with closed ends 6, with bottom reinforcepieces 10, with an open top, and with an open side; substantially asdescribed.
